Lobbyist Jack Burkman, founder and president of his own lobbying firm Burkman Associates LLC, released a statement on Monday in which he claims to be drafting a bill that would bar gay athletes from participating in the NFL.

In it, he writes:

”We are losing our decency as a nation. Imagine your son being forced to shower with a gay man. That’s a horrifying prospect for every mom in the country. What in the world has this nation come to?”

“If the NFL has no morals and no values, then Congress must find values for it,” Burkman said.

Burkman also claims that he has garnered political support for his proposed bill but did not mention or identify of those purported lawmakers by name.
